Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths of two powerful microscopy methods, allowing researchers to see both the ...

The invention that first enabled researchers to see clear images of living cells was the phase-contrast microscope, which won its inventor, Frits Zernike, a Nobel Prize in 1932. Prior to Zernike's ...

Harvard University researchers have developed a cathodoluminescence-based multicolour electron microscopy technique that ...

Light microscopy is a key tool that scientists use to image cells, organelles, subcellular structures, and molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Because visible light leaves biological ...

"In contrast, a traditional microscope requires users to carefully follow instructions provided by the manufacturer to perform a high-quality capture," Zhang said. Zhang and his colleagues use an ...

Sulfanilamide is best known as a treatment for yeast infections, but as it turns out, it dazzles under a microscope. Just ask José Manuel Martínez López, a microscopy specialist at the instrumentation ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) led by Prof. ZHANG Douguo have unveiled a planar optical device that significantly enhances the capabilities of dark-field ...
